If you have written exams before or if you are about to take your first exam, you may know that Internet Explorer (IE) was the recommended browser for taking exams, as it was the only browser that supported the ActiveX controls for these exams. However, you are probably also aware that Internet Explorer will be retired shortly. No need to worry! There are features now available in Microsoft Edge which permit taking exams on this browser by running in Internet Explorer mode.

Our March PLC webinar, hosted by our program experts, delved into the top 20 reasons to choose our PLC programs. It covered topics like:

• How we use simulation software in virtual lab-based learning (emulating Rockwell/Allen Bradley)
• Program accreditation

The live session also gave prospective students, who attended the webinar, a chance to ask their questions about our programs:
